Hey peeps...not updated for a while now so thought i would let u know how im getting on...

got a rear disc conversion kit (thanx Gaz @ Racespec) which ill fit when my rear link kit is ordered and fitted :top: :top:

front bumper is now 95% complete....and kinda went like this

first mission was to get the troublesome front splitter on so went down to B+Q and got some brackets to fibreglass to the bumper along the inside...trial fitted them:

fitted better than i thought so i secured them in place:

this made the bumper look like this :cool:

next things to attack was the big bar...wanted to shorten it down...

so marked out what needed cutting away

then cut it out

finished there with the bumper looking a bit like this

will carry on tomo and bond the bar back together

:top: :top: :banana: :banana:

cheers for the comments so far peeps!!! :top: :top: :top:

been to cool louvers today to get the wing sorted...and came back with this

excellent quality and the guys were all sound there! even though we did get a few looks....seemed like no one had seen an asian before LOL...were SOOO many bikers around that area as well....when we drove up to the workshop all you could see were Peugeots LOL...and i mean EVERYWHERE lol...seemed a bit odd witha Golf parked between them :cry:

i might go back there to do some more stuff to do with the bonnet

also another pic of the front bumper on the car at a low angle...

check out the air flow improvement compared to a standard bumper

am off back to the garage now that i have some feeling back in my hands lol

will report back later tonight with todays progress although this weekend has been VERY slow

when i went there ages ago there was loads pugs half done bout 3 306's with 20'' alloys and loads of crap everywhere!!!!

there sound blokes the guy at cool louvers is bit dodgy tho

''please leave me alone to do the bits i'm funny bout people watching me''

:lol:

me and mate thought that was great!!!

but na was real good looks good bassboy you louvres are similar to mine :wink:

by **andyhardy** on Sun Mar 06, 2005 8:05 pm

The car looks great mate!

Are you going to compare your ACTs to before and after or are you changing the intercooler setup too?

If you haven't got an ACT gauge - get one, I've got mine fitted in the turbo now, really nifty bit of kit

Cheers,

Andy

by **bassboy** on Sun Mar 06, 2005 8:07 pm

lol at sleeky...its true EVERYONE was just looking at me and my mate in such an odd way!!!...we went to macdonalds and all we were thinking about was the guys/girls in there spitting in our food :lol:

so we checked the food before it went any where near our mouths lol

it was in a place called alton...in the middle of no where like most places are LOL

adam....i dont know what the guy was like...he seemed sound but we willingly left as we needed some food (i am a diabetic you see) so went to chill in macdonalds for a bit...didnt take him long either..only about an hour or so!

was funny as hell tho he was sound but loved to talk bout himself when i was there!!!! :lol:

by **bassboy** on Sun Mar 06, 2005 8:10 pm

Hi andy, yes i will be getting an ACT gauge however at the moment it is not needed urgently...can wait till my new engine and cooling setup goes in then i will run one. Its going to be a Pro Alloy front mount job when things are looking more complete on the engine front (still not started that project properly lol)

ive got about 6 gauges going into the car which should be fun to watch lol

LOL...we had a quick word with him regarding my bonnet and my mates bonnet then just left lol...dont think he could really get much of a word in because soon as he told us the information we needed we were off lol...mate wanted to get home and play GT4 LOL

bassboy

by **MAD_Adamski** on Sun Mar 06, 2005 8:15 pm

its a long old bloody drive man!!! i remember on a dodgy farm!!!! :lol:

we spoke to him for a bit then left him too it but he was boring us and we wanted to leave!! :lol:

funny thing was we broke down on the way home too!!! :lol:

by **bassboy** on Sun Mar 06, 2005 8:20 pm

LOL...we were alright...we only live about an hour away lol...and we took a Golf 16v so less likely to break down :lol:

bassboy

by **MAD_Adamski** on Sun Mar 06, 2005 8:22 pm

well i was in the old xrpooi and the alternator went!!! :rolleyes:

mate had to come meet us and fit a new one :lol:

on the side of the road!!!

by **FezzR** on Sun Mar 06, 2005 9:19 pm

gonna get a smaller plate looks a bit silly being full size and over hanging

was the bumper secured on properly or just thrown on?
just being picky but the gap between the sides and the wings looks wrong :oooh:

by **Max M4X WW** on Mon Mar 07, 2005 12:01 am

bassboy :it was in a place called alton...in the middle of no where like most places are LOL

Thats not far from me! Vents look perfect

some people are picky aint they :lol:

nah the bumper is only held on by 2 bolts...meant to be 4 bolts and 2 screws...thing is i only keep the bumper on for a few days at a time and then take it off to work on it again so no point in bolting it all back up properly only to take it off again

max...should have told me could have met up lol...but i didnt have the turbo with me lol
